Dear friends, it appears that **UncleBill** and I are very much in love indeed, and the evidence will be produced sometime in late October. How did this happen, you ask? Well, see, when a man and a woman love each other very much, they…oh, never mind. Look it up yo damnself. Yes, I’m preggers. Knocked up. Got a bun in the oven. In the family way. We went to see the nice doctor today, and he checked me out and pronounced everything fine. Did an ultrasound, and we got to see the little tiny bean. Doesn’t look human yet, but it has a heartbeat that we could see. Very cool. We are happy. ---
